GTO R4708 Black Scraper Seal Kit for 2000XLS, 3000XLS and 4000XLS Operators
The R4708 black scraper seal kit is a small but important wear part in select GTO and Linear Pro actuator-style swing gate operators. The scraper seal sits around the moving arm section and helps wipe debris while reducing water and dirt entry into the housing. When the seal becomes stiff, torn, loose, or packed with dirt, the arm can develop extra friction, the operator may sound strained, and the gate may stop or reverse from obstruction-sensing load. This kit is commonly ordered during arm service, housing repair, or when a previously smooth operator begins dragging near the front of the arm. Older listings may reference R4404 or show 2000XL/3000XL/4000XL wording, while newer listings often use R4708 and 2000XLS/3000XLS/4000XLS wording. Match the seal to the actual arm and parts diagram because not every black arm component uses the same seal.

Technician Note
A scraper seal failure can look like a weak motor, bad battery, or obstruction problem because the extra drag loads the arm. Always check gate movement by hand, arm condition, and seal friction before replacing electronic parts.
Before Ordering Checklist
- Confirm whether the operator is an XL or XLS generation
- Compare the old scraper seal and arm housing before ordering
- Check for worn housing parts, bent tube sections, and debris inside the arm area
- Do not confuse R4708 with front mount brackets, pivot brackets, or rev counter boards
- After replacement, verify the gate moves freely and limits are still set correctly
Professional Advisory
Do not lubricate or force a damaged actuator arm to overcome a bad seal. If the arm is binding internally, a qualified gate technician should inspect the operator before continued use.
Important Ordering Warnings
- R4708 and R4404 are commonly associated in listings, but the original arm style should still be verified.
- A seal kit will not repair a bent actuator tube, damaged front mount, failing motor, or overloaded gate.
Product Questions and Answers
Is R4708 the same as R4404?
R4708 is commonly listed as the newer or related black scraper seal kit reference, while R4404 appears in older 2000XL, 3000XL and 4000XL scraper seal listings. Verify by operator and arm style.
What symptoms can a worn scraper seal cause?
A worn or dragging seal can cause extra friction, rough arm movement, intermittent obstruction trips, noise, or visible debris around the moving arm opening.
Does this kit fit every GTO swing gate opener?
No. It is for select GTO and Linear Pro actuator arm models. Smaller Mighty Mule, older PRO, and different arm generations may use different service parts.
Should I replace the scraper seal if the arm is bent?
No. A scraper seal is not a repair for a bent or damaged actuator arm. Inspect the arm, housing, brackets, and gate movement before ordering only the seal.
Can a bad scraper seal affect gate travel?
Yes. If the seal drags heavily or debris is caught in the arm, the operator can lose smooth travel and may stop before reaching its normal open or closed position.
